[QUOTE="Darth Solo, post: 7743787, member: 6791759"] 1. Who is we? The greater group of hobbyists playing D&D don't seem to have this problem, hence the game's continued popularity. 2. What's wrong with killing as a moral option in D&D? The game has almost always been about good heroes vs. evil. Check the Monster Manuals. 3. You define the word "hero" using superheroes and there are superhero rpgs, but D&D is not one of them, so your definition is incorrect. 4. You're making blanket assumptions regarding violence, the impact it has on characters and real people. 5. "We" don't need to move the largest, most popular segment is rpgs away from violence. Rather, YOU could learn to play rpgs without the violence since WE can play the games however we like. The OP reads like pure "OneTrueWayism": "People aren't playing games the way I want and it has to be stopped!" It's presumptuous, divisive, offensive mindsets like this that make the hobby so unattractive to new gamers. If people want to pretend to kill orc raiders, let them. It's just a game [/QUOTE]
